I have a 12 x 15 x 9 cellar, with poured concrete walls, that I would like to use for a solar utility room.
The ceiling and floor are concrete and the back and side walls have earth behind them.
It has a standard door so my tank would have to be constructed in it.
Any advantage or disadvantage to selecting a corner, then adding 2 more (partial) concrete block walls for a tank?
I need something sufficient to store enough, and be hot enough, to heat a 20,000 cubic foot house (50 x 50 x 8), with wood stove backup.
The BTU output from my, planned, trough collector array should be 105k on a sunny day.
I posted earlier about using this system to generate enough steam for a generator but have decided against that.
Thanx for input, Alan
